2023 deadliest year for migrants in a decade, says UN | DW News

The United Nations says 2023 was the deadliest year for migrants since records began a decade ago. At least 8,565 people died on migration routes worldwide.

The UN's International Organization for Migration said last year's total was a 20 percent jump on the year before. The Mediterranean Sea remains the deadliest route - but unprecedented numbers of deaths were also recorded in Africa and Asia. Meanwhile European states are trying to clamp down on irregular border crossings.

For more on this, we talk to Camille Le Coz. She is the Associate Director at the Migration Policy Institute and joins us from Paris.
